The man, who an earlier alert said was born in 1991, was wanted in a rape earlier today in Price Township, Pa., which is north of Stroudsburg, Pa., dispatches and police said.

State police at Swiftwater had put out an alert searching for a 1999
Pontiac Grand Prix, driven by a man born in 1991, according to a
transmission from Warren County's emergency dispatch center. It was
related to a rape this morning in Price Township, Pa., which is north of
Stroudsburg, Pa., in Monroe County, the dispatch said.

The man was possibly armed with a handgun, according to the alert.

When the alert was canceled about 8:40, dispatches reported an armed
man barricaded in a car on Slateford Road in Upper Mount Bethel. Dispatches indicated this
was the same person wanted in the rape.

Police on the scene later said the incident was tied to another incident near Stroudsburg. Troopers at Swiftwater continuously said they couldn't provide information.

The road was closed by fire police at North Delaware Drive, where state troopers and EMTs staged.

New Jersey State troopers, including emergency response personnel, prepared in Knowlton Township on the other side of an old train bridge from Upper Mount Bethel.

Just after 10:45, fire police and others were told to stand down and a state police detective said the incident was "wrapping up." Trooper King soon after reported the man was in custody. New Jersey State Police were walking across the bridge at that point.
